Abstract
College students or prospective teachers are the most important sources of knowledge to improve the quality of students^ abilities in schools in preparing students to face industrial technological advances at the time and in the future. Prospective teachers must be able to master technology which changes continuously every day, which is currently leading to the development of digital technology. from a prospective teacher is to utilize technology into a medium that helps understand students to solve mathematical problems, where a media is in the form of several images created through several stages that must be solved through the preparation of a language program systematically from the ideas of a prospective teacher. The method used for making media is the Program Synthesis method with 4 stages, namely Specification, Synhesizier, Verification, and feedback. This method will show the effect on the problem solving indicators when using Visual Basic for Application Excel until the creation of a media. In the results of the study, it was found that making learning media using VBA for Excel through the synthesis method was better than making VBA for Excel learning media using the usual way.
